Detailed Profile in English

About me

My name is Anna, I was born in Ukraine and I live in a Polish town called Lodz.

My native languages are Russian and Ukrainian, I'm also fluent in English. I Graduated from university with Master's Degree, specialty "Philology-Translation. English and German languages". I have experience of translating films/literature from English into Russian and Ukrainian.

I worked as an English and Russian teacher at school in Kiev. I've been teaching Ukrainian, Russian and English over the internet since 2008 and also have a long experience of teaching these languages in real life.

My greatest passion is learning and teaching foreign languages. There is nothing better for me than seeing my students getting more confident and fluent in foreign languages with each lesson I teach.

Qualifications & Experience

Native Russian and Ukrainian Speaker.

Certified Ukrainian and English Language Teacher.

Russian/Ukrainian/English Translator.

Russian, Ukrainian and English tutor over the internet and in real life since 2008.

Teaching Approach

I think that each student is different. The main task with a new student is to identify their strengths and weaknesses. After that I compose an individual program in which I use various teaching methods and approaches, depending on the students' learning type, their objectives and goals.

I think the best way to master foreign language is to practice it with a native speaker. I work on speaking, reading, listening and grammar skills.

I do my best to make my lessons interesting and enjoyable, I explain the material with patience and various examples. My tutoring is informative and efficient.

I really love teaching and I can prove to you that learning a foreign language is easier than you might think.

Good first lesson back with Anna after about 3 months, she quickly got me back into the swing of things, learning new words and some short phrases - I feel that with the help from Anna and my application to learning I can improve quickly
